Cataract Surgery in Colorado Springs
Clearer Vision Starts Here
What Are Cataracts?
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside the eye. When we are young, this lens is usually clear. Over time, it can become cloudy, making it harder for light to focus properly.
Cataracts often develop gradually, but they can eventually interfere with daily activities such as reading, driving, watching TV, recognizing faces, or seeing clearly at night.
Common cataract symptoms include:
- Cloudy, blurry, or dim vision
- Glare or halos around lights
- Difficulty driving at night
- Faded or dull colors
- Frequent changes in glasses prescription
- Trouble reading small print
- Needing brighter light to see clearly
- Overall decline in quality of vision
When cataracts begin to affect your daily life, cataract surgery may be recommended.
